• Here Document (UNIX Shells/Perl) - Activates support for HERE documents. Note that if you prefix
your terminator with one of our lexer names, you will get embedded language color-coding. Example of
a HERE document in Perl, where HTMLEOF is used as the terminator to get HTML embedded lan-
guage color-coding:
print <<HTMLEOF;
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>...</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
...
</BODY>
</HTML>
HTMLEOF
Unknown languages are color-coded in string color. Embedded language colors are user-definable.
• Color identifiers followed by ( as a function - For language such as C++, Java, and Slick-C®, an
identifier followed by a parenthesis always indicates a function.
• Special coloring for package and import statements (Java) - When this option is selected, the Java
syntax package and import statements are supported. This option is forced on for the lexer name Java.
You must add the package and/or import keywords to your keyword list in order for this option to have
any effect.
• Preprocessing keywords can appear anywhere - When this option is selected, preprocessing
keywords are color-coded even if they are not only preceded by white space.
• Identifiers may start with a number (COBOL) - When this option is selected, identifiers may start with
one or more decimal digits. By default, leading decimal digits indicate a number.
• @"####" Unicode strings (C#) - When this option is selected, text in the form of @"any text" is coded
as a string.
